The Tulane Institute of Sports Medicine (TISM) high school athlete walk-in clinic is open two days a week this fall to help prevent, diagnose, and treat students with sports-related injuries.
“The goal is to keep our student-athletes healthy. But when they do experience an injury, we want to get them off the sideline back to the game as quickly and safely as possible,” said Dr. Felix “Buddy” Savoie, a Tulane sports medicine and orthopedic expert. “A fast recovery is more likely if we assess the athlete in the clinic as quickly possible, which is why we have two walk-in clinic sessions each week during the fall sports season.”
The TISM high school athlete walk-in clinic is open every Saturday and Wednesday through Nov. 16 at the main clinic located on the Tulane University campus at 202 Janet Yulman Way, New Orleans. Student-athletes can stop by without an appointment and be seen on Wednesdays from 8 a.m.-3 p.m. and on Saturdays from 8-10 a.m. Appointments are also available throughout the week.
